Her life is tough? She wines and dines, rides in Mercedes and drives a BMW and lives in a villa. She has a big entourage wherever she goes. What a charmed life! She exemplifies how a calculating and manipulative woman can succeed in life.

收益的话，肯定比办厂要好很多。手续什么的，有中间人处理。只要钱到位了，接下来的一切都不用操心。他们还负责帮你找出租的对象，像我的那两套房，买下来后没几天就租出去了。李老板有没有兴趣？下个月有一个温哥华别墅看房团，半旅游半看房的那种，一起去吧。

In terms of profit, it's definitely a lot better than managing a factory. There are middlemen who take care of the procedures and such. As long as the money makes it into their hands, there's no need to worry about the rest. They also help you find tenants. Take my two condos: after I bought them, no more than a few days passed before they were rented out. Are you interested? There's an organized group visiting villas in Vancouver next month. It'll be half travel and half checking out properties. Let's go together.

哎，我们还不如农民！自己承包一块地种种，比城市悠闲舒适多了。每天呼吸新鲜空气，金灿灿的油菜花免费看！路上也没那么多车，两旁是绿油油的庄稼，真是赏心悦目。自己盖一栋小楼，还有大院子，比别墅还别墅！

Agh, we're not as lucky as the peasants! Maintaining a plot of land yourself is so much more carefree and comfortable than life in the city. You can breathe fresh air and look at the beautiful golden canolas for free! There aren't many cars on the road and bright green fields on either side. It's really pleasant to imagine. You can build a small house for yourself, plus a big courtyard. It's even more lovely than a villa!

当然！而且农民没有退休金，所以“养儿防老”的观念才那么根深蒂固。还有你说的什么住别墅，没错，他们不缺面积，但是大部分农村基础设施不完善，比如没有下水道，也不能用抽水马桶。

Of course! Furthermore, they don't get pensions, which is why the idea of raising sons to support you in your old age is so deep-rooted. Also, the thing you were saying about living in villas: you're right. They're not lacking in surface area, but the majority of the infrastructure is imperfect. For instance, there's no sewer and they can't use flush toilets, either.

我真怀念以前，大家工资差不多，人人都是无产阶级。现在真是另外一个世界。有钱人坐头等舱，开进口车，住别墅。过的真是资本家的日子。
